# FileWriteInteger
|
||
|
||
The function writes the value of the int parameter to a bin-file, starting from the current position of the file pointer.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
uint FileWriteInteger(
|
||
int file_handle, // File handle
|
||
int value, // Value to be written
|
||
int size=INT_VALUE // Size in bytes
|
||
);
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Parameters
|
||
|
||
file_handle
|
||
|
||
[in] File descriptor returned by [FileOpen()](/en/docs/files/fileopen).
|
||
|
||
value
|
||
|
||
[in] Integer value.
|
||
|
||
size=INT_VALUE
|
||
|
||
[in] Number of bytes (up to 4 inclusive), that should be written. The corresponding constants are provided: CHAR_VALUE=1, SHORT_VALUE=2 and INT_VALUE=4, so the function can write the integer value of char, uchar, short, ushort, int, or uint type.
|
||
|
||
Return Value
|
||
|
||
If successful the function returns the number of bytes written. The file pointer is shifted by the same number of bytes.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
|
||
```
